    very informative city tour

    informative, easy to find, good audio guide, pleasant length, individual city tour, breaks easily possible

    For the money okay;)

    A good idea in itself, because you can set your own pace. Unfortunately, the app does not navigate you, which is why you have to turn the phone, the screen on and off again to see if you are still on the right track & have not missed anything. The stories were good, understandably told & informative. If you want to take pictures, then you should not forget the power bank ;).

    Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.

    How much does Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone cost?

    +

    Prices start at $9 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.

    Is Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Chocolatarium Chocolate Tour Experience in Edinburgh, The Mountebank Comedy Walk of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Old Town: Historical Guided Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Edinburgh?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone?

    +

    Included: App with Audio Guide in 7 languages on smartphone; and GPS guidance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone?

    +

    The audio tour starts at this cathedral. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Portuguese, English, Italian, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone?

    +

    What happens to Edinburgh: City Walk Audio Guide in 7 Languages on your Phone if the weather is bad?
